>> DONALD TRUMP IS FACING NEW ALLEGATIONS OF RACISM AFTER A
FORMER EMPLOYEE OF HIS CLAIMS THAT HE WAS FORCED TO LEAVE THE
HOTEL THAT HE WAS WORKING AT BECAUSE HE WAS BLACK WHEN TRUMP
AND HIS WIFE WOULD VISIT.
THIS IS ACCORDING TO AN ARTICLE
PUBLISHED IN THE NEW YORKER, APPARENTLY THEY SPOKE TO A MAN
BY THE NAME OF KIP BROWN WHO WORKED AT ONE OF TRUMP'S
CASINOS.
BROWN ALSO USED TO WORK IN THE CASINOS, AT THE SHOWBOAT,
BUSING TABLES, AND AT TRUMP'S CASTLE, STRIPPING AND WAXING
FLOORS.
WHEN DONALD AND IVANA CAME TO THE CASINO, THE BOSSES
WOULD ORDER ALL THE BLACK PEOPLE OFF THE FLOOR.
IT WAS IN THE
80S, I WAS A TEENAGER, BUT I REMEMBER THAT.
HE ALSO SAYS THEY
PUT US ALL IN THE BACK.
>>LOOK, THE CHARGE IS SO SHOCKING THAT YOU WONDER COULD
IT POSSIBLY BE TRUE.
FIRST OF ALL, THE NEW YORKER IS
INCREDIBLY REPUTABLE.
THEY WOULD NOT MAKE THIS UP.
SECOND OF ALL,
THIS GUY HAS NO MOTIVATION -- AND I LIKE HOW HE GIVES HIS BONA
FIDES, BASICALLY, SAYING THIS IS A GUY WHO WORKED IN THIS
INDUSTRY FOR A LONG TIME, WELL-RESPECTED, ETC.
HE HAS NO
INCENTIVE TO MAKE IT UP.
AND IF YOU LOOK FARTHER, IS THIS
GENEROUS TO TRUMP?
I WILL LET YOU DECIDE.
IT IS NOT
NECESSARILY, AND I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT OF WHY IT
MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED, IT IS NOT NECESSARY THAT DONALD TRUMP SAYS
THE PEOPLE THAT WERE BENEATH HIM, I HATE BLACK PEOPLE, I
NEVER WANT TO SEE THEM.
MY WIFE HATES BLACK PEOPLE, SHE NEVER
WANTS TO SEE THEM.
I WOULD BE FURTHER SHOCKED IF THAT WERE THE
CASE.
MORE LIKELY, HE LETS IT BE KNOWN, HEY, I WANT MY CASINOS,
THIS IS THE CODED LANGUAGE THEY WOULD USE, TO BE HIGH END.
AND CERTAIN CLIENTELE ARE NOT HIGH END.
WHEN DONALD TRUMP IS
SITTING IN MANHATTAN MOST OF THE TIME, YEAH, PEOPLE WHO GO TO
CASINOS ARE SOMETIMES WHITE, BLACK, LATINO, A MIX.
AND PEOPLE
WHO WORK THERE ARE A MIX.
BUT WHEN TRUMP IS GOING TO COME INTO
TOWN, HE IS SURROUNDED BY YES-MEN, REMEMBER, HIS WHOLE
LIFE.
YES SIR, DONALD TRUMP, YOU ARE FANTASTIC, THE GREATEST
PERSON EVER.
SO TRUMP DOESN'T WANT TO SEE BLACK PEOPLE BECAUSE
HE THINKS IT IS NOT HIGH-CLASS.
EVERYBODY UNDERNEATH HIM WILL
SCURRY TO GET RID OF THE BLACK PEOPLE, DELIVER HIGH END
CLIENTELE FOR HIM.
>>IT DEPENDS ON WHETHER YOU BELIEVE THAT TRUMP OVERTLY ASKED
FOR THIS TO HAPPEN, OR IF THE LANGUAGE THAT HE USES TOWARD
MINORITIES AND THE POOR CONVINCES PEOPLE WORKING UNDER
HIM TO DO CERTAIN THINGS WITHOUT HIM ASKING ALL THE TIME.
I DON'T
KNOW EXACTLY HOW THIS WORKED OUT OR HOW THIS PLAYED OUT IN THE
80S, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW REAL THESE ACCUSATIONS ARE, BUT THIS
IS A FORMER EMPLOYEE WHO WAS JUST SHARING HIS OWN
EXPERIENCES.
WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT TRUMP IS CLEAR IN HIS
DISDAIN TOWARD MINORITIES AND POOR PEOPLE, RIGHT?
AND THAT
KIND OF LANGUAGE RESONATES TOWARD PEOPLE WHO WANT TO PLEASE
HIM.
SO IF YOU KNOW THAT HE'S NOT GOING TO BE IN FAVOR OF
SEEING CERTAIN PEOPLE AROUND, THE MAYBE YOU WOULD HIDE BLACK
PEOPLE OR MINORITIES.
I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW IT PLAYED
OUT, BUT TRUMP DOESN'T HIDE THE FACT THAT HE HATES CERTAIN
GROUPS OF PEOPLE.
HE IS TRANSPARENT ABOUT IT, IN FACT HE IS CLIMBING UP THE
POLLS AS A RESULT.
>>AND THIS IS IN 2015, WHEN HE SAYS MEXICANS WHO COME INTO THIS
COUNTRY ARE CRIMINALS AND RAPISTS, BY AND LARGE.
HE SAYS
PRESIDENT OBAMA, I DON'T KNOW IF HE WAS BORN IN THIS COUNTRY,
EVEN THOUGH HE HAS EVERY BIRTH CERTIFICATE THAT SAYS HE IS BORN
IN HAWAII.
AND HE SAYS OBAMA, COULD HE REALLY GET GOOD GRADES
AT COLUMBIA?
HE FINDS IT INCONCEIVABLE.
WHY WOULD YOU
FIND IT INCONCEIVABLE?
HE IS VERY ACCOMPLISHED, THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES AND A FORMER U.S. SENATOR.
IT IS VERY OBVIOUS
WHY YOU FIND IT INCONCEIVABLE.
THESE ARE ALL 2012, 2015.
IMAGINE WHAT DONALD TRUMP WAS LIKE, AND WHAT HIS REQUESTS
WERE, BACK IN THE 1980S, WHICH IS WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING.
LOOK,
THAT IS AN OUTRAGEOUS STORY, AND SOME DUDE IS NOT GOING TO COME
UP OUT OF NOWHERE AND BE LIKE, I WILL INVENT A STORY OF HOW IT
USED TO BE BACK IN THE DAY IN THE TRUMP CASINOS.
OKAY.
BUT
EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT PARTICULARLY OUTRAGED BY THAT, OR YOU THINK
THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO AND THAT IS HOW THINGS GO, HIS
ATTITUDE TOWARDS MINORITIES HAS REAL EFFECT.
WHEN THE RAPE
HAPPENED IN CENTRAL PARK, ALSO IN THE 1980S, A WOMAN RAPED BY A
GROUP OF PEOPLE, THEY ACCUSED THESE FIVE KIDS WHO HAPPENED TO
BE BLACK, IT TURNS OUT THEY WERE WRONG.
THEY CONVICTED THEM
ANYWAY, THEY SERVED THEIR FULL SENTENCES.
DONALD TRUMP TOOK OUT
A FULL-PAGE AD DEMANDING THAT THEY GO AFTER THEM HARSHER, THAT
THEY GIVE THEM THE FULL BRUNT OF THE LAW, ETC.
THAT IS HORRIBLE
BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT THEY DIDN'T DO IT, AND THEY SPENT ALL THAT
TIME.
THOSE GUYS SHOULD BE OWED MILLIONS IF NOT BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS BY DONALD TRUMP, BY THE WAY, FOR CREATING THAT
DEMAGOGUERY.
BLACK KIDS, THEY ARE THE ONES WHO DID IT.
GRAB
THOSE KIDS.
WHAT IS AMAZING IS AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS WHEN WE
FIND OUT THEY DIDN'T DO IT, THE AUTHORITIES SAY WE ARE SO SORRY,
IT WASN'T THEM, IT WAS OTHER PEOPLE,
DONALD TRUMP TAKES OUT ANOTHER AD SAYING I DON'T CARE, IT
WAS STILL THEM.
>>HE IS AMAZING.
IT IS INCREDIBLE HOW HATEFUL HE IS,
AND HOW MUCH PEOPLE BASK IN THAT HATEFUL ATTITUDE.
PEOPLE LOVE
IT.
THAT IS THE WORST PART ABOUT IT.
THERE ARE OF COURSE HATEFUL
PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY, AND YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT.
BUT WHEN
YOU SEE SOMEONE RISE IN POPULARITY AS A RESULT OF HIS
HATRED AND AS A RESULT OF HIS RHETORIC TOWARD BLACK PEOPLE,
MEXICANS, MINORITIES, POOR PEOPLE, IT IS SAD AND
DEPRESSING.
THIS IS SOMEBODY RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES AND HE HAS ALL THIS SUPPORT.
>>DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF THINKING YOU KNOW WHAT, HE JUST
DOESN'T LIKE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
NO, HE HAS ISSUES AGAINST MANY
DIFFERENT KINDS OF MINORITIES.
HE HAS HAD THEM HIS WHOLE LIFE,
AND IT IS NOT AS SIMPLE AS HE HATES THEM.
BECAUSE A LOT OF
PEOPLE VIEW IT, FUNNY ENOUGH, AS A BLACK AND WHITE ISSUE.
IF HE
IS RACIST HE HATES THEM, IF HE IS NOT RACIST HE DOESN'T
HATE THEM.
NO, IT IS HOW YOU REACT TO PEOPLE BASED ON YOUR
ASSUMPTIONS.
HIS ASSUMPTION, BASED ON THE STORY, AND I KNOW
WE ARE READING A LITTLE BIT INTO THE CASINO STORY, BUT IT APPEARS
THAT HE THINKS AS A BEST CASE SCENARIO BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT
HIGH END CLIENTELE, I DON'T WANT THEM IN MY CASINO.
THE
WORST-CASE SCENARIO IS, I DON'T WANT TO SEE BLACK PEOPLE.
OKAY?
FOR WHATEVER REASON, THAT DECISION IS MADE.
BUT WHAT I
SAID IF YOU WANT TO GET RID OF THAT, DON'T EVEN TALK ABOUT IT,
TALK ABOUT THE SO-CALLED CENTRAL PARK RAPISTS, THE CENTRAL PARK
FIVE.
WITH THOSE GUYS, HE IS UNREPENTANT, AND HE VIEWS THEM
AS -- THEY MUST HAVE DONE IT.
ALL OF THESE ASSUMPTIONS, ONE
AFTER ANOTHER, IF YOU STILL THINK DONALD TRUMP IS A LOVELY
GUY WHO WOULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE, OR ANY
MINORITIES, YOU WANT TO HAVE THAT OPINION.
THERE IS SOMETHING
IN YOU THAT THINKS, LIKE, WELL, I KIND OF HAVE THAT OPINION TOO
AND I DON'T WANT THAT BEING CALLED RACIST, SO I WILL STEP UP
HERE AND DEFEND DONALD TRUMP.
YOU DIDN'T TAKE OUT A FULL-PAGE
AD IN THE PAPERS ACCUSING BLACK PEOPLE SOMETHING THEY DIDN'T DO,
BUT IF YOU THINK, LIKE, GO GET THEM ON THAT, EVEN IF YOU KNOW
THEY ARE INNOCENT, THEN THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU.
THIS
GUY IS NO FRIEND OF MINORITIES AND IT WOULD BE A DISASTER FOR
THIS COUNTRY IF HE WERE PRESIDENT.
